Hyundai Verna Fluidic Clutch Problem

. This is a discussion on Hyundai Verna Fluidic Clutch Problem within The Technical Zone. Part of The Automotive Answers category; and after warranty ends , &quot;saar , we found this problem and needed to be replaced asap &quot; or else ...

If you have a Bad maser cylinder or slave cylinder Then you can get it replaced easily

If not I don't they will allow any settlement
And its really doesn't matter on the Km run there was another verna which lost clutch at 6k but the it was his first car and he was learing his driving lesson in verna also his maser cylinder and slave cyilnder wasnt' having any defect

The master cylinder and slave cylinder are the Vital components of Hydraulic clutch
The Clutch fluid is pumped to the release bearing with the help of these
if either of the go kaput they your clutch wont either engage properly or you may encounter partial disengagement which reduces the clutch life to a great extend

today i went to Hyundai ASS for my 2nd service as completed 9900 kms, and after a small chit chat with service manager there, he agreed to replace the clutch master cylinder as it was the culprit according to him. He has placed an order for it and the part will reach dealership within 10 days. Hope to get some change in clutch after replacing this part.

I own fluidic verna 1.6sx crdi around 11460 Kms driven by 1yr 3 months period. Till date I had only 1 problem with electric orvm which serv centre replaced under warranty 6months back.

But today when I took the car , I was not able to shift gear after starting engine. it was like jammed gear box but when engine is off I was able to put reverse in first gear. so I called for roadside assistance from d nearest service centre where I did all my service till date. they came promptly within half n hour and after some inspection n checking the cluch serv agent told me that complaint is with master cylinder which has to be replaced , n they can do it under warranty.

Interesting part of the story comes then.

He told that they (Hyundai service centre ) doesn't have Crain service to lift and toe the car to service centre which I would have to do myself through private agencies and they gave me contact number of the agent. i was surprised to hear that KTC Hyundai thrissur doesn't have an option to toe the car to their centre despite having 5 other service centres across Kerala and I will have to spend 2500rs just for getting d car to service centre just 3kms from my flat :(

Just give me your valuable advice regarding the issue.

@Lias...Had the same problem thrice for my verna(22000kms).Had to get the car to service last week and got sleeve cylinder replaced (warranty) and again when it happend they opened the cylinder today to check the plates and face plates.the thing happend whenever water seeped through the underbody at high speeds and once at below knee water(20km/hr).I was not able to shift gears after passing through the stagnant water for 15-20 mins,but was able to shift it with the engine off (no problem pressing clutch pedal) [p.s other small cars were passing by on the same highway smoothly] .Had to shift the gear with the engine off and ride it in 3rd and 2nd(those were the shifts which i could hardly make without breaking the stick) 6kms towards a town and by the time a local workshop guy checked ,think the defective part heated up and problem was gone.This was before replacing clutch sleeve and afterwards when running at high speeds on low lying water.Now they say there are few holes through which air gets sucked into the clutch compartment and told me to avoid water next time[think to take car to some other state during rainy season in kerala ] .

@Lias...could you tell what fault did the guys at service find in your situation.

My story is a bit different.
When I took the delivery I had the same issue. The clutch was stuck. I had to lift it with my leg from below the clutch. I called up the AAS then n there. They agreed to replace the master cylinder. The did it n gave back the car in two days. Now the clutch don't get stuck but it's a bit on a harder side when I release it. Every1 is facing the same hardness while releasing it or while pressing it??
I have an added problem. The brakes. I am sacred to speed coz when I brake, the car judders. Braking isn't smooth at all.

I hope they take my another complaint of this clutch defect. I'll update that tomm again.

I went through all the posts related to Gear stuck / clutch hardness issue.

To sum up my horrible experinence with Hyuandai so far :

Purchased my vehicle in Oct2010. By July 2012, I found it harder to shift the gears and the clutch was quite hard.
Later it happened very frequenty.

During my first visit, I was adviced to change the master cylinder and the cover assembly.---------------Nothing under warranty

Second visit : After 6 months, I had to replace the cover assembly and the clutch plate -------------Nothing under warranty ( Only 6 months' warranty sir was the reply )

Third vist --Another 20k was gone citing a similar reason

I spent out atleast 80k till now and the worst part is that the problem still prevails.

Last week, when I explained the issue to my SM, he says that they can find a fix only if they can see the problem.
He knows very well that there is big problem and he was not willing to admit it.
Literally clueless on my next steps and your advice would help !!!!!

I gave my Fluidic Verna 1.6 SX Petrol for a 30K KM service at Advaith Hyundai, Bangalore and i noticed the squeaking noise when deploying and releasing the clutch which was prevailing before i gave for the service.

I had clearly indicated this to SA before the service and he also make a note of it in the Job Card only to realize the issue prop up once again the very next day after i took my car from service.

Before taking delivery, i inquired if the clutch problem was rectified and he gave me vague answer that the clutch release bearings have been lubricated and there was no issues with the clutch.

Now after a month of use, i notice the squeaking noise disappearing and surfacing again at regular intervals during city traffic conditions but now i have a harder clutch to engage unlike before.

I will be talking to my SA tomorrow to hear what he has to say regarding this.

I have the exact same problem. I mentioned it above as well. Sa told me that they will try clutch bleeding which will be chargeable since clutch os not covered in warranty.
